This initiative falls under the construction works category for water projects, with a total budget of £80,000. The tender period is open until 29 April 2022, and the contract is scheduled to start on 1 July 2022 and conclude by 31 October 2022. The delivery address for project work is located in DE15 9AW. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in environmental restoration, aquatic engineering, and construction services in the public sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the procurement method adopted is an open procedure designed to foster competitive bidding. Companies that specialise in habitat restoration, ecological engineering, and water management solutions will find this contract aligns well with their capabilities and expertise. ## Notice You are being invited to tender to carry out a river and floodplain restoration project which will involve river channel excavation work. The objective of this contract is to restore diversity to the geomorphology of the Trent and create wetland features in its floodplain on the Burton Washlands. This project will re-naturalise two sections of the River Trent by reprofiling the river banks. This will create two gravel beach features on a shallow bank profile. This project will also engineer a small offshoot channel to the River Trent by lowering the ground to encourage wet vegetated margins rather than nettles. Some of the spoil generated will be used to create a series of berms along the existing channel in order to encourage flow in the channel when the water volume is at summer levels. Finally at six locations we are looking to carry out ground lowering in the floodplain to create ponds and scrapes and break open ditches to encourage water onto the surrounding area. The end result will be a very significant increase in habitat diversity for a multitude of wildlife including fish, invertebrates and birds. UK Priority species which may benefit will include Lapwing, Snipe, Spined Loach, Atlantic Salmon, Grass Snake, Otter and bat species. This work is funded by the Environment Agency and The National Lottery Heritage Fund. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2ab7d75a-0bed-47d5-8557-eb0284b3d0f6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Apr 2022 | | Submission deadline | 29 Apr 2022 | | Future notice date | 5 Apr 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2022 - 31 Oct 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £80,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | STAFFORDSHIRE WILDLIFE TRUST LIMITED | | Locality | STAFFORD | | Post town | Stoke-on-Trent | | Postcode | ST17 0WT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG2 Shropshire and Staffordshire | | ITL 3 | TLG24 Staffordshire CC | | Local authority | Stafford | | Electoral ward | Haywood & Hixon | | Westminster constituency | Stone, Great Wyrley and Penkridge | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45240000 - Construction work for water projects ## Release History - 12 Apr 2022 at 07:17 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2ab7d75a-0bed-47d5-8557-eb0284b3d0f6 - 7 Apr 2022 at 12:19 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2ab7d75a-0bed-47d5-8557-eb0284b3d0f6 - 7 Apr 2022 at 12:15 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/28dc4a29-cda5-4969-bb6e-ba2f6206444b - 7 Apr 2022 at 12:07 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/28dc4a29-cda5-4969-bb6e-ba2f6206444b - 5 Apr 2022 at 14:33 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/28dc4a29-cda5-4969-bb6e-ba2f6206444b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2ab7d75a-0bed-47d5-8557-eb0284b3d0f6 12th April 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/28dc4a29-cda5-4969-bb6e-ba2f6206444b 7th April 2022 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1cbe5fa5-0acb-4a50-85cb-111d9f5a52b2 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4417e19d-1524-4f8d-9769-6864392202d9 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/16bdf8ac-7eb0-43fe-8d9f-c2d201d4c179 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/106f1fbe-357e-4218-a64a-b1747fd86e08 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/27e2d060-579c-48ce-b7f6-53e6f4e7334a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0b1c4391-a69b-419a-8b52-6c8b78b8282c - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a94011a2-a529-4cbe-a5b9-90cdad10a297 Method Statement - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/fe327a28-8d53-4977-a4c9-f230395f8475 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1f062bd2-5236-44ad-8f88-08edd8537104 Utilities - additional - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/31d5d028-4eaf-40d4-953b-c6cbfdff7617 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/dfa573cb-a871-4c7f-a484-52267b8591c0 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
